本文通过采用1979年~2011年的数据,实证分析了城镇化率对我国居民消费的影响。研究结果表明:城镇化率与我国城乡居民消费之间存在长期协整关系,但不存在格兰杰因果关系,而且实证表明城镇化率对我国城乡居民消费有很强的正效应,其中对城市居民平均消费影响更为显著,对农村居民消费影响不显著,原因可能是城镇化发展使农村相对富裕居民市民化,农村剩余居民消费能力难以快速填补“富裕居民的流失”。 By using the data from 1979 to 2011, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of urbanization on China’s household consumption. The results show that there is a long-term cointegration relationship between the urbanization rate and the consumption of urban and rural residents in China, but there is no Granger causation, and empirical evidence shows that the urbanization rate has a strong positive effect on urban and rural residents’ consumption in China. The influence of residents’ average consumption is more significant, and the impact on rural residents’ consumption is insignificant. This may be due to the fact that the development of urbanization makes it possible for the rural areas to be relatively affluent residents to become citizens, and the rural surplus residents’ spending power to fill the gap quickly.
